" I study to bring forth some acceptable work : not striving to shew- 

 any rare invention that passeth a man's capacity, but to utter and 

 receive matter of some moment known and talked of long ago, yet over 

 long hath been buried, and, as it seemed, lain dead, for any fruit it hath 

 shewed in the memory of man."— Churchward, 1588.
